“Glyn Dowden as Dylan Thomas” at Canton Public Library

            On Saturday, April 21, Canton Public Library hosts a special program in connection with its celebration of poetry for the month of April.  At 2:00 PM, Glyn Dowden will appear as Dylan Thomas, reading some of Thomas’s poetry, performing an excerpt from Under Milk Wood, singing some Welsh songs, and telling a few Welsh jokes.
